The Manual Speed Limit Assist (MSLA) feature in your Kia K4 allows you to establish a maximum speed limit to prevent the vehicle from inadvertently exceeding your desired pace. If you happen to exceed the preset threshold, the system triggers a warning: the set speed limit flashes on the instrument cluster, and an audible chime sounds until the Kia K4 speed returns within the designated limit.
